After An Accident, Take Action To Protect Your Rights<\/h2>\n

Some of the things you should do after a serious
\ncar accident<\/a> include the following:<\/p>\n

Get medical care immediately<\/strong> \u2014 One might think that this goes without saying. However, some people delay getting treatment. Even if you feel OK, you should see a doctor. The effects of some injuries (such as concussions) reveal themselves only over time.
\n[et_pb_section global_module=\"10101\"][\/et_pb_section]
\nReport the accident to the police<\/strong> \u2014 If the police don’t come to the scene of the accident, make sure you report it to them.<\/p>\n

Exchange information with the other driver<\/strong> \u2014 You will want to exchange names, phone numbers and insurance information. However,
\ndo not admit fault<\/strong> or discuss what happened.<\/p>\n

Document the chain of events leading to the accident<\/strong> \u2014 To the best of your recollection, write down what happened and when. This does not have to be elaborate, but it can serve as a starting point for our comprehensive investigation.<\/p>\n

Follow the instructions of your doctor<\/strong> \u2014 If you stop seeing your doctor or stop taking medications before the doctor says you are OK, the insurance company use this to minimize the value of your case.<\/p>\n
